We're converting this guy to either TE or DB, I totally see it coming, he's gonna become something really f**king special for us once we coach him up to the game's standards.
I mean seriously, this guy has the strength and body of a lineman, but THE SPEED OF A RECEIVER. -Nobody is gonna wanna get in this motherf**ker's face the moment he's out there.
Harbaugh molding the clay once again, and making greatness.

and yeah, he wasn't anything special as a rugby player, but they're different games - you don't get breaks in rugby, so there aren't many 300 pounders because they don't have the endurance. Linemen in general would not be good at rugby, because you need to be able to move in space (some DE's like JPP would be successful though). It's bizarre to me that this guy played wing given he's not very fast - I would expect him to have played forward, but maybe he's afraid of contact which would be a major concern.

Nice - I wonder why he went undrafted though - GM's must think he won't be ready to play until his contract ends, but if nothing else, that would give us an advantage to re-sign him. This could end up being the equivalent of a 2016 2nd round pick or so if he develops by then and we keep him.

Sounds like something Al Davis would have done.
oh you said "right mind."

Wow.... Okoye will be joing our DL.. I wonder if there was a deal done under the table which makes me believe that it's the reason why we didn't draft jesse williams.
GO NINERS!!!

reading about this guy, it really does take you back and appreciate the athlete Julius Peppers was/is.... I think some forget he is 6'7 290 and ran a 4.68 40.
but back to Okoye... watching that combine footage....my god, Harbaugh wasn't lying. Just imaging him getting the ball in the open field, with players bouncing off the guy hahaha. But he better be able to secure the ball first and foremost.
I don't know where they'll line him up....but I'm excited that we have him.
